About the entrepreneur

Tom is married with one child of his own, and also cares for his orphaned niece and nephew. In the future Tom dreams of getting a higher education and helping members of his family. A struggling business makes it difficult for Tom to meet these dreams for his future.

About the loan

Borrowing some money from his family, Tom was able to open his fish selling business in 2000. Tom is hoping to be able to expand his business and diversify, selling a wider variety of goods. Business training and a small business loan from Missions of Hope would allow Tom to grow his business and work toward his dreams.
